High-Speed Chase Lands Mitchell Man In Jail

A Mitchell man who was driving drunk when he led police on a high-speed chase through residential areas has been sentenced.

Eighteen-year-old Dahjrick Clark was sentenced to 75 days in jail, or about 2 ½ months behind bars. He also was ordered to pay more than $2,000 in restitution.

Clark was arrested May 26 after a chase that authorities say involved speeds approaching 100 mph in a 25 mph zone where other traffic and pedestrians were present. He pleaded guilty in October to aggravated eluding and second-offense drunken driving.
